Chapter 423: Chapter 421: Getting a Share of the Spoils_1

“Please, go ahead,” Jack Green said.

The steward Zhou pondered for a moment and said, “Old Green has just passed away, and normally I shouldn’t talk to you about this at such a time.

But the Martial Way tournament has just ended, and business matters do need to be addressed. Don’t you think so?”

“Yes, indeed, we need to square things away.”

Jack Green suddenly had a bad premonition, and with a forced smile asked, “You mean to say…”

Steward Zhou looked at Jack Green, his eyes growing deep and solemn as he slowly said, “The things that the Green family has been holding onto, it’s time to let them go.”

“Let everything go?”

Jack Green’s heart lurched, and without giving it much thought, he blurted out, “Then what about our family’s food and livelihood?”

Steward Zhou’s expression turned slightly cold as he stated indifferently, “There’s only so much of the pie in Qin province. If your family takes an extra bite, others get one less.

You surely understand this principle without my explanation. The Green family has had its fill for too long; it’s time to let others have a bite.”

Upon hearing this, Jack Green laughed silently, then broke out into loud laughter, the slightly maniacal sound echoing through the funeral hall.

After a while, he calmed down, his eyes murky as he fixed his gaze on steward Zhou and said:

“You’re right, it’s indeed time to let go. Since that’s the case, we Green family should seek our sustenance elsewhere.”

Upon hearing this, steward Zhou’s facial expression became slightly more relaxed, and he said, “Jack, your father is no longer with us, but there’s no need for you to panic.

If anyone dares to take advantage of the Green family during this time, just tell me, and I will make sure justice is served on your behalf.”

Jack Green responded with a laugh that didn’t quite reach his eyes, “Then, my thanks to you in advance, Uncle Zhou.”

“No need for formality with me.”

Steward Zhou waved his hand carelessly, glanced around with a long sigh, and said, “Alright, give me a call if anything comes up. I’ll be going now.”

“Take care, Uncle Zhou.”

Jack Green, with his family, escorted steward Zhou out the door and watched him drive away before turning back to the funeral hall.

Asher Green asked in a somewhat dazed tone, “Dad, who was that person just now…”

“Don’t meddle in things that aren’t your business,” Jack Green said, his expression turning ominously dark. He swept his gaze over the other Greens and instructed:

“Keep the funeral simple, and contact the company’s finance department immediately to tally up all the assets of the Green family.”

Startled, Asher Green said, “Dad, are you…”

Jack Green said bitterly, “The Green family… let’s disband.”

…

After Nathan Green’s death, the entire Qin province Martial Way community was in an uproar.

As the most famous Grandmaster in Qin province, Nathan Green was the benchmark for many young people, and his death had a profound impact on the Martial Way community.

The Martial Way tournament came to an abrupt end due to Nathan Green’s death, but its influence did not cease.

The day after Nathan Green’s funeral, the Lu Group issued a public announcement that, due to business restructuring, it would sell several of its subsidiary companies at extremely low prices.

However, this “sale” was only open to a few select buyers.

For instance, the Milton Family, the Preston Family, the Cooper Family, and the Wolfe Family, who had just made a sensational debut at the Martial Way tournament.

To outsiders, this sale seemed odd, but those with insight knew what was going on.

The Green family was cutting its losses!

Strangely, though the information had been out for four or five days, no one had come to negotiate a price.

Jack Green laughed, “Let them bite slowly. In the end, it has nothing to do with our Green family.”

That same afternoon, having distributed the family wealth, the Green family members went their separate ways, leaving only an old steward to handle the transfer of the property.

From then on, the Green family completely withdrew from Qin province.

And all of this happened simply because Nathan Green wanted to find a platform for his grandson and took the initiative to challenge Barry Wolfe.

Moreover, in that challenge, he had resorted to ruthless tactics, aiming to cripple his opponent.

From an outsider’s perspective, the combatants seemed to be simply countering each other’s moves that day.

But only the participants themselves knew the true dangers involved.

Who launches an ambush at the beginning of a sparring match?

Not even a greeting, just a direct use of the strongest attack?

An ambush coupled with the release of True Qi!

If it hadn’t been for Greg Jensen’s significant increase in strength and quick reflexes, Nathan Green’s palm strike could have sliced him directly.

Otherwise, how could Greg Jensen have killed Nathan Green?

From the incident of Ethan Locke kidnapping his aunt and second uncle, Greg Jensen knew that one cannot be too kind in the martial world.

If the other party wants to kill you, and you let them go, are you wishing for a faster death?

How do you repay kindness if you reward enmity with virtue?

Greg Jensen will not make the mistake of leaving a snake half-dead only to be bitten later.

Given the chance, he would surely eradicate the danger in its cradle.

“What’s the situation with the Green family?”

Upon hearing Greg Jensen’s question, Glen Wolfe instantly broke out into a cold sweat.

“This…”

Taking a bite of the egg from Chelsea Wolfe’s hand, Greg Jensen said, “Tell it as it is.”

“Well…”

Glen Wolfe, with a face full of shame, said, “I secretly contacted the Green family right after the news came out.

But, the Green family’s intention is to wait until all four families are together before discussing it.”

“Wait until everyone is together before discussing?”

Greg Jensen was stunned and sneered, “At this point, they still want to hold out for a better offer, truly fearless of death.”

Glen Wolfe gave a forced smile and continued, “I’ve approached the other three families, and they want to talk to you.”

Greg Jensen scoffed, “Just say it, what do they want to do?”

Glen Wolfe helplessly said, “They want a piece of the Green family’s situation.”

Greg Jensen’s expression turned slightly cold as he asked, “How was this kind of thing usually divided in the past?”

“Unless it’s agreed upon in advance, it’s generally whoever takes it down gets to keep it.”

“Yeah, so why did the rules change when it came to me? Are they bullying me because I’m an outsider?”

Greg Jensen snorted in amusement, “I’m out there fighting, and they’re picking peaches behind my back, such cunning planners.”

He looked up at Glen Wolfe and instructed, “Don’t bother with them, find a way to talk to the Green family alone.”

Glen Wolfe’s face showed his difficulty as he nodded and asked, “Will you still see them?”

“I don’t have the time; tell them to get lost! And let them know, either disappear or start a war, let them pick.”

Greg Jensen’s tone was icy cold; he was now the resolute and decisive magician Barry Wolfe.

If he wanted to continue in this role, he had to adopt Barry Wolfe’s persona.

Besides, he felt he truly had nothing to discuss with those people; going there would be a waste of time.

Hearing the sternness in his voice, Glen Wolfe bowed quickly and said, “Yes, I understand.”

…

“Insolence! This Barry Wolfe is too much, asked to come for a talk, and he says he doesn’t have the time?”

Trent Preston was burning with anger, and with a slap on the armrest of the chair, it snapped in two with a crack.

Simon Cooper’s mouth twitched, and he said with distress, “That was a newly bought set of huali wood furniture, have you gone mad?”

“This Barry Wolfe is too arrogant!” Trent Preston declared.

Simon Cooper couldn’t help but mock, “The man is a Grandmaster, he has the right to be arrogant, would you dare to fight him?”

“I…”

At those words, Trent Preston’s momentum shrank, “Are we just supposed to let him strut around in our Qin province territory?”

Troy Milton slowly lifted his teacup and took a sip before saying nonchalantly, “I might have an idea.”
